...investigation—and surrounding media controversy—occurred in response to allegations from a Washington D.C.-based non-profit, the Environmental Working Group (EWG). In a letter to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), a government organization which funded Douglass?? $1.3 million dollar study researching the potential link between fluoride and osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, the EWG claimed that Douglass?? final report contained “potential, serious misrepresentations of research results...
Professor Chester W. Douglass?? seven-figure donation to the Harvard School of Dental Medicine came four years before the school launched an investigation into his academic conduct, and had no effect on the review’s conclusion, the school’s spokesman, John Lacey, said yesterday. Douglass donated around $1 million to the dental school in 2001, Lacey confirmed, four years before the Washington-based Environmental Working Group filed a complaint alleging that Douglass had committed “serious misrepresentations of research results.” The Environmental Working Group accused Douglass...
...respond to e-mails and phone calls over the weekend. The Environmental Working Group alleged in 2005 that Douglass had suppressed the research of one of his students, Elise Bassin. Her research found an increased risk for osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, in young boys drinking fluoridated water. Douglass??s own studies found no connection between fluoride consumption and an increased likelihood of the cancer. While the panel of senior Harvard professors conducting the investigation did not take a position on the cancer link, they stated that Douglass “did not intentionally omit, misrepresent...
...adviser Chester Douglass, the chair of the Oral Health Policy and Epidemiology Department at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. “We found an association between fluoride levels in drinking water during childhood and osteosarcoma for males diagnosed before age 20 years,” she wrote. Douglass?? $1.3 million dollar, 15 year study did not find a link between drinking fluoridated water and developing osteosarcoma. He said Bassin’s study is a subset of his study and that he had not been able to replicate her results. The Environmental Working Group, a Washington...
